It's totally up to you how you choose to count your TBR. In my case, it's not really a TBR, just a list of all the books I have that I haven't read. There are undoubtedly some that I will never read and won't miss. But how can I be sure which ones they are? Every time I've tried to filter my list I've arrived at difficult edge cases I can't decide on, and it ends up being a futile exercise.

And if I read a freebie, I want credit for it. Do I add it to my TBR just to remove it, like I would with a library book? I'd still need to track the books I own but am not counting to stop myself downloading them again.

So, basically I count everything I download, even if something is just a freebie I'm laying into deep storage, or if it's extra garbage I got in a bundle, or whatever.

I do choose not to count magazines and graphic novels, but that's just me.
